title: [Multidisciplinary strategy for lung cancer patients with bone metastasis].
abstract: The fall of QOL by bone metastasis poses a problem with the increase in lung cancer. The examples of long-term survival of lung cancer are also increasing by progress of chemotherapy or molecular-targeted therapy. Now, in addition to the conventional radiotherapy, the multidisciplinary treatment including a newer bisphosphonates or an orthopedic operation has been needed to bone metastasis of lung cancer. We presented the lung cancer case who showed the symptoms in transcervical pathologic fracture and whose QOL was improved by orthopedic surgery, radiotherapy to bone metastasis, chemotherapy, gamma knife surgery, and treatment with zoledronic acid and gefitinib.
